Was just wondering how easy/difficult it would be for a US nurse to either travel to and work in Eire or to emmigrate there permanently? I am of Irish descent, and had heard that the government was fairly amenable to the idea of children (or descendents) of immigrants coming "home" so to speak.
I'm sure the pay isn't anything close to what US nurses are used to (if UK payscales are anything to judge by) I'm thinking of a different lifestyle. . . .
I've got the BSN, so that wouldn't be an issue. May be starting on an MSN with a focus on Clinical Education soon as well. Am definitely more interested in the ROI as opposed to the UK.
Thank you all for your input. You've definitely given me something to think about!
Having a MSN will help you with immigration, same as it will help in the US for a foreign nurse. But still be aware that you will be at the third tier as far as getting a job as an RN there. However, there are always different things that can be done, and with the MSN, then you can also teach.
